Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers - How Many Seats Does the 2026 Mazda CX-90 Offer for Colorado Springs, CO Families?

Family shoppers want an SUV that adapts to their changing needs, and the 2026 Mazda CX-90 delivers with flexible seating that feels premium and practical. Depending on configuration, the CX-90 seats 7 or 8, giving you the choice between 2nd-row captain’s chairs for easier third-row access or a 2nd-row bench to maximize capacity. Every 2026 Mazda CX-90 includes a 60/40 split 3rd-row bench that makes it simple to balance passengers and cargo as your day evolves.

Inside, Mazda’s design emphasizes harmony—elevated materials, calm acoustics, and controls where you expect them. Available upgrades like Nappa leather-trimmed seating, an available panoramic moonroof, and Bose® audio elevate the cabin, while conveniently placed USB-C outlets available in the 2nd and 3rd rows help keep devices charged for everyone. Whether you’re juggling pickups, weekend trips, or daily commutes around town, the CX-90’s thoughtful layout supports your schedule without feeling bulky or cumbersome.

• 8-passenger layout: A 2nd-row bench adds a third seating position in the middle row for the most family and carpool flexibility.
• 7-passenger layout: Available 2nd-row captain’s chairs improve third-row access and add personal space for passengers.
• Easy cargo shifts: The 60/40 split 3rd row lets you fold one side to carry longer items while keeping passenger space.
• Room to relax: Available ventilated seats and premium cabin materials help keep everyone comfortable across seasons.
• Helpful power access: USB-C outlets available in the 2nd and 3rd rows support streaming, navigation, and schoolwork on the go.

Families also care about space behind the third row and how quickly the cabin converts from kid duty to cargo duty. The CX-90 offers useful cargo volume with all seats upright and expands dramatically when you fold the 2nd and 3rd rows, creating a long, flat load floor for strollers, sports gear, and weekend projects. The cabin design makes lifting and loading straightforward, while the low noise levels and supple ride help keep everyone in good spirits across longer trips.

Safety and visibility matter, too. i-Activsense® technologies are designed to alert you to hazards and support awareness, while the available 360° View Monitor with See-through View can help with tight downtown parking or school pickup lines. Standard i-Activ AWD® and Mi-Drive help the CX-90 adapt to changing weather and surfaces around the Front Range, so your routine stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I switch between 7- and 8-passenger seating after I buy?

The 7- or 8-passenger setup is determined by how your CX-90 is configured from the factory. If you prefer maximum flexibility, choose the configuration that best aligns with your daily routine before purchase.

Is there enough space for adults in the third row?

The 3rd row is designed for versatility and can accommodate adults for shorter trips. The 60/40 split helps you optimize legroom by adjusting the 2nd row when needed, and the overall cabin focuses on comfort for all three rows.

Do all trims include USB ports for the third row?

USB-C charging outlets are available in the 2nd and 3rd rows on select models. If frequent device charging is important for your family, ask about trims that include those outlets to support everyone on board.
